AC/DC Plan New Album

05/14/2012.

(Classic Rock) AC/DC mainman Malcolm Young discovered he's less famous than his folk musician relative when he took his family to explore their roots on a remote Scottish Island. He discussed his trip to Scotland and AC/DC's future with Classic Rock's Eric Mackinnon.

He confirmed they're working on a potential follow-up to 2008′s Black Ice. But he warned fans are in for a longer wait than expected, after singer Brian Johnson suggested there would be new material next year.

"You know what Brian's like. He just says things and then walks away. It'll be a little while – a year or two anyway," Young explained. "I've been doing some jamming on some song ideas but I do that all the time, as do the rest of the band. We are still working. But we had a long rest between Stiff Upper Lip and Black Ice, so I think we need a couple of years to recuperate and work on it a bit more."
